Care to take a survey?

For those cyclist who have heard about the proposed Manhattan velodrome, well there is another like project in the works in the City of Coatesville, Pennsylvania. If cycling on a velodrome interests you, here’s your chance to make a difference. A 3rd party research firm has been hired to evaluate the feasibility of the project.

As part of the research, New York State Bicycle Racing Association is reaching out to potential users of the velodrome to gain their input on the facility. We would love the hear the feedback from the members of the NYSBRA and the cycling clubs and organizations that comprise the association. They have prepared a brief online survey that we would like to distribute to gain quality feedback from the cycling community, both locally and nationally. While we have successfully connected with many local riders, we still lack the ability to reach out to the greater cycling community in the region.

The City of Coatesville, a western suburb of Philadelphia, is considering the development of an indoor velodrome. It is envisioned that the facility will include a 200-meter, banked track with a wood racing surface. The velodrome would include 2,000 to 3,000 permanent seats and would host a variety of uses including national/international cycling competitions, weekly racing leagues, training and cycling development programs. The venue may also include a training/fitness center, a restaurant/pub, specialty retail such as a bike shop and physiotherapy services.

The development group behind the velodrome project in Coatesville includes David Chauner, a former U.S. Olympic Cyclist and race promoter in Pennsylvania.
